Any news on ETA?

You'll just have to wait patiently like the rest of us.

From the OP:

The Tuesday (or Wednesday depending on what time zone you are in) before Easter

Bah. I missed where he said 'concurrent'.

Sorry all.

A) So, the performance fixes are not in the 2.0 release. OK Ican wait for 2.1.
B) Game is called Alrdin Missions with several references to Aldrin = Increased in sector play in Aldrin.
C) v1.4 still has a seriously bugged Aldrin economy/weapon production and in sector pathfinding is badly flawed (assumed to be due to the large asteroid) and it is sometimes very hard to dock. AI ships go round in swarms etc etc.

Conclusion either Aldrin and pathfining does have major fixes in 2.0 or Aldrin missions is going to be fairly unplayable.

The question is will 2.0 be released with Aldrin still broken?
Not sure but it was realsed broken in 1.0.
Still broken in 1.2 1.3 1.4. However 2.0 Aldrin missions will get some serious flak if Aldrin still suffers from the same problems in a release focusing on Aldrin. Therefore there must surely be some fixes?

Lets hope so.

I pray they first fix the aldrin sector design- i have terrible FP there and its simply too HUGE!

if they dont then im gonna be 'shuddering' around in my ship

All the other sectors work fine - its just Aldrin which has problems

peace

Rather than you all speculating you could sign up for L3 and go over to the beta testing forum to see for yourselves what has and hasn't been fixed/added.

No Thanks.
As a steam user I am exlcuded.
As a fully employed father of 2 I bearly have enough time to play the game never mind Beta testing and whats the point of joining L3 unless I can contribute?

So I will carry on speculating. Thats what forums are for.

There is no obligation to test if you join DevNet at L3. You get access to the information about the public beta, and to the Ideas forum, but you don't have to do anything.

ha, i wont ruin the surprise but to be honest the 'new ship!' is a joke.

Rumillion · Post by **Rumillion** » Thu, 19. Feb 09, 14:18

ah, i see. then I wont get my hopes up.

edit: hehe found the beta forum. its not what i imagined at first indeed.

no Terran "panther-like" uber mini-carier with PSP's in the mains and "I win" guns in the turrets.

Ah well, maybe some day...

Now we have to go back to Aldrin?

I don't know about you guys but once my EEMPCs were cloned I took the Spitfyre and fled.

How depressing that only one new ship is introduced. When I read the news article I saw "new ships" and was ecstatic, but now that I think about it, they probably just meant in relation to version 1.0. So the only other "new" ship will probably be the yaki carrier that wasn't in the initially released version, but which we've been playing with for months.

Though stations in the plural is definitely correct.

Yaki Carrier? The Shuri? I almost boarded that. In Weavers.
